INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
[IJERT] (ISSN 0976-4089) [PUBLISHED BY: SOCIETY OF EDUCATION (Regd.)] is an
International journal that publishes high-quality solicited and unsolicited articles, in
English, in all areas of education including education policies and management. The
journal aims to provide a forum for scholarly understanding of the field of education.
Contributions that span the divide between theory and practice are particularly
welcome. Although principally concerned with the social sciences, the journal
encourages contributions from a wider field. The Journal welcomes the submission of
manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and academic excellence.
Papers will be published approximately three to four months after acceptance. IJERT is
open access journal and all available online.
Submit manuscripts as e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at:
ijerteditor@gmail.com, editorijert2010@yahoo.com, manishzoology06@yahoo.com
manuscript number will be mailed to the corresponding author same day or within 72
hours.
The cover letter should include the corresponding author's full address and
telephone/fax numbers and should be in an e-mail message sent to the Editor, with the
file, whose name should begin with the first author's surname, as an attachment.
IJERT will only accept manuscripts submitted as e-mail attachments.
For all other correspondence that cannot be sent by e-mail, please contact the editorial
office:

Article Types
Three types of manuscripts may be submitted:
Regular articles: These should describe new and carefully confirmed findings, and
experimental procedures should be given in sufficient detail for others to verify the
work. The length of a full paper should be the minimum required to describe and no
longer than 6 pages.
Short Communications: A Short Communication is suitable for recording the results of
complete small investigations or giving details of new models or hypotheses, innovative
methods, techniques or apparatus. The style of main sections need not conform to that
of full-length papers. Short communications are 4 pages.
Reviews: Submissions of reviews and perspectives covering topics of current interest
are welcome and encouraged. Reviews should be concise and no longer than6 printed
pages . Reviews are also peer-reviewed.
Review Process
I
All manuscripts are reviewed by an editor and members of the Editorial Board or
qualified outside reviewers. Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible, and the
journal strives to return reviewers’ comments to authors within 3 weeks.
Regular articles
All portions of the manuscript must be typed double-spaced and all pages numbered
starting from the title page.
The Title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper. The Title Page
should include the authors' full names and affiliations, the name of the corresponding
author along with phone, fax and E-mail information. Present addresses of authors
should appear as a footnote.
The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the
topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major
findings and conclusions. The Abstract should be 100 to 200 words in length. No
literature should be cited.
Following the abstract, about 3 to 10 key words that will provide indexing references to
should be listed.
A list of non-standard Abbreviations should be added. In general, non-standard
abbreviations should be used only when the full term is very long and used often. Each
abbreviation should be spelled out and introduced in parentheses the first time it is
used in the text. Only recommended SI units should be used.
The Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant
literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be
understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Materials and methods should be complete enough to allow experiments to be
reproduced. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail;
previously published procedures should be cited, and important modifications of
published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include
the manufacturer's name and address. Subheadings should be used. Methods in general
use need not be described in detail.
Results should be presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in
the past tense when describing findings in the authors' experiments. Previously
published findings should be written in the present tense. Results should be explained,
but largely without referring to the literature. Discussion, speculation and detailed
interpretation of data should not be included in the Results but should be put into the
Discussion section.
The Discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and
in past studies on this topic. State the conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the
paper. The Results and Discussion sections can include subheadings, and when
appropriate, both sections can be combined.
The Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be brief.
Tables should be kept to a minimum and be designed to be as simple as possible. Each
table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and
supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without
reference to the text.
Figure legends should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet. Graphics should
be prepared using applications capable of generating high resolution GIF, TIFF, JPEG
file. Tables should be prepared in Microsoft Word. Use Arabic numerals to designate
figures and upper case letters for their parts (Fig 1). Begin each legend with a title and
II
include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the
text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.
References: In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s name should be
followed by the date of the reference in parentheses. When there are more than two
authors, only the first author‘s name should be mentioned, followed by ’et al‘. In the
event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year,
the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower
case letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to distinguish the works.
Examples:
Abayomi (2000), Agindotan et al. (2003), (Kelebeni, 1983), (Usman and Smith, 1992),
(Chege, 1998; Chukwura, 1987a,b; Tijani, 1993,1995), (Kumasi et al., 2001)
References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order. Articles in
preparation or articles submitted for publication, unpublished observations, personal
communications, etc. should not be included in the reference list but should only be
mentioned in the article text (e.g., A. Kingori, University of Nairobi, Kenya, personal
communication). Journal names are abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts.
Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Short Communications
Short Communications are limited to a maximum of two figures and one table. They
should present a complete study that is more limited in scope than is found in fulllength papers. The items of manuscript preparation listed above apply to Short
Communications with the following differences: (1) Abstracts are limited to 100 words;
(2) instead of a separate Materials and Methods section, experimental procedures may
be incorporated into Figure Legends and Table footnotes; (3) Results and Discussion
should be combined into a single section.

Proofs and Reprints: Electronic proofs/reperints will be sent (e-mail attachment) to
the corresponding author as a PDF file.
